“动作-评价”效应:动作与认知的交互作用

"Action-Evaluation" Effect: The Interaction Between Body Movement and Cognitive Activity

"动作-评价"效应是具身认知理论的一个重要的支持性证据。早期研究表明,人们倾向于对积极刺激做"拉"反应而对消极刺激做"推"反应,进而在效价评定过程中表现出一种"动作-评价"效应。而随后一系列研究发现该效应的表现模式并非固定,并且该效应的发生不仅限于"推拉"动作。相应的,研究者也对这些现象做出了多种观点解释。进一步研究需继续深入探索"动作-评价"效应的本质及该效应的局限范围,以统合各种观点。

＂Action-evaluation＂ effect, an embodiment effect referring to the relationship between pushing-pulling action and evaluation, is an important evidence for embodied cognition theory. Previous research about this effect suggested that a pulling action is related to approaching good objects whereas a pushing action is related to avoiding bad objects. Therefore, using these actions to evaluate the valence of the stimuli could trigger the ＂action-evaluation＂ effect. However, later studies found this effect is inherently malleable and can be conditioned. Correspondingly, this effect has been interpreted by several different accounts. Further research could continue to investigate the essence and the boundary of this effect.
